Password Security
Passwords are the keys to your personal and account information. The following are some easy steps that you can take to protect yourself from having your personal information compromised.

Beware of Phishing

Phishing is a type of deception designed to obtain and use your personal data (such as credit card numbers, passwords, account data, etc.) for fraudulent purposes.

Con artists might send thousands of fraudulent e-mail messages that appear to come from Websites you trust, like your bank or credit card company, and request that you provide personal information via e-mail or on a illegitimate Website created by them for this purpose.

Tips to Protect Yourself from Phishing
If you receive a suspicious e-mail that appears to be from Arab Bank, please do the following:

Do not respond to the message, or click on any of the links, or change the e-mail in any way.

If using cable modems or DSL for Internet access, do not keep the connection active when not in use; also consider installing personal firewall software.
